Staff's dogs behaving well on members' night
Staff's dogs behaving well on members' night
The second Members Night of the year, and cold blustery weather greeted our members. All the normal events such as BBQ, quiz and raffle took place, before the evening started with an example of dog obedience from Trust staff's dogs. This event was judged by Howard Kirby from Mullencotes Gundogs who later, with the help of some members, showed how it should be done. There were flying displays from both old and new flying birds and staff members, all battling bravely with the weather. The evening finished with the Tawny Owl research students giving a presentation of this summer's project, much appreciated by all.
